saint of humanity

Chapter 2874 Eyeliner

"Then how did you leave the Source Realm?" This is what Lu Ye is most curious about.

"I don't know. There was a huge battle and I had almost no chance of survival. But the battlefield space suddenly broke apart and I rushed into a crack and reappeared here."

Lu Ye seemed to be thinking deeply after hearing this. Right now, the Source Realm was in the process of merging into the Star Abyss, so the barriers of the realm would inevitably change. The great war among the Semi-Saints must have caused some coincidences, which allowed Si Sheng to escape death.

When Lu Ye thought of this, he was horrified. In this case, even if the Source Realm was not completely integrated and returned, other Semi-Saints might also be able to break out of the Source Realm and enter the Star Abyss.

As he thought this, Lu Ye suddenly felt cold all over, and a great sense of crisis came over him for no reason.

This feeling was extremely familiar because he had experienced similar situations more than once.

Almost at the same time he noticed it, Si Shengsheng, who was facing him, couldn't help but widen his eyes, eyes full of astonishment, and looked behind him.

Through the reflection of those pupils, Lu Ye clearly saw a figure standing strangely behind him, and then a violent and irresistible force swept over him.

In such a hurry, Lu Ye had no time to dodge. Besides, if he really dodged, the sudden attack would hit Si Shengya, and given Si Shengya's current condition, he would be unable to resist.

Therefore, Lu Ye almost instinctively activated the power of the Sky Mirror, and the Taoist power surged throughout his body.

The next moment, the mirror shattered, and Lu Ye felt a pain on his back. He crashed into Si Shengzao, and the two figures rolled forward, each bleeding profusely.

They crashed straight into a barren mountain, smashing the mountain into pieces, with rubble flying everywhere, submerging the figures of the two men.

Three breaths later, Si Shengsheng suddenly flew out from the rubble, coughing up blood as he rushed towards a place, with the Sky-Breaking Sword in his hand flying around, cutting through the waves and opening a passage.

At the end of the passage, Lu Ye was lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, bleeding from all seven orifices, his face was pale, and even his eyes were a little lifeless.

"Lu Ye, how are you?" Si Shengsheng dragged him out of the rubble despite his seriously injured body.

"I can't die...wow..." Before he could finish his words, another mouthful of blood gushed out.

"How could this happen!" Si Shengzao looked solemn.

Just now, Lu Ye had his back to the person who came, so he should not have seen clearly, but he saw it clearly. Just when he was talking to Lu Ye, Wu Sheng, who was supposed to be in the Source Realm, suddenly appeared and punched Lu Ye without mercy.

He never knew that a true saint could actually appear in the Star Abyss.

"I'm sorry for getting you into trouble." Si Shengsheng looked apologetic, and he obviously thought that Zhensheng was coming for him.

Lu Ye sat down cross-legged and shook his head: "It's none of your business! He's here to kill me!"

Not long ago, when he went to that wonder to collect the treasure, his clone was killed by the Fourth Saint. Before that, when he was trying to stop Fu Guang from ascending, he was ambushed by the Second Saint.

However, compared to the time when he was severely injured and fell into coma, the situation today is still relatively good. After all, over the past few months, Lu Ye’s strength has also improved significantly.

"Come to kill you?" Si Shenghua frowned.

Lu Ye stabilized his breath a little, and then he said: "Si Sheng, if the True Saint wanted to attack you, he could have done it directly in the Source Realm, and there was no need to chase him here, so he didn't come here for you."

Si Shenghua thought about it after hearing this and realized that it was indeed true. If the True Saint wanted to kill him, he could have done it in the Source Realm long ago. Why would he wait for him to rush out of the Source Realm?

"You are being targeted?" Si Shengya suddenly realized that the True Saints were all puppets. When a True Saint took action, it was the manifestation of that will.

Lu Ye snorted coldly: "I have been targeted for a long time."

He has been targeted since the day he gave up his identity as the son of Xing Yuan, but as Yuan's consciousness awakens, the malice becomes more and more obvious.

So this time it wasn't Si Sheng Huo that implicated him, but he was the one who implicated Si Sheng Huo.

"If that's the case, what will you do? There are nine True Saints in the Source Realm." Si Shengsheng looked worried.

The one who just took action was only a Fifth Saint. Lu Ye is seriously injured now. If any other True Saint comes, Lu Ye will probably not be able to resist.

Lu Ye shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Si Sheng. The True Saint seems to be constrained by many obstacles. Now that they have taken action, no True Saint will appear in the short term."

It's just... the situation is a little strange.

When he had previously obstructed Fu Guang's advancement, the True Saint appeared and took action. When his clone went to collect the treasure, the True Saint appeared and took action again.

There is one thing in common in both situations, that is, both Fu Guang and the treasure had their intelligence completely eroded, and became Yuan's puppets, or spies.

That’s why Yuan could know Lu Ye’s location accurately and allow the True Saint to descend.

What about this time?

Si Shenghua has not lost his intelligence, he is not a puppet, this is very strange.

Thinking this in his heart, Lu Ye suddenly turned his head to look at Si Shengsheng's most precious Taoist weapon. His eyes narrowed slightly and he said slowly: "Si Sheng, can I see your Taoist weapon...?"

Si Shengsheng nodded: "No problem."

Having said this, he handed the Sky-Breaking Knife to Lu Ye.

However, before Lu Ye could reach out to catch it, the Taoist power from all around suddenly swarmed into the Sky-Breaking Sword, and a blood-red blade light suddenly shot out from the blade and attacked Lu Ye directly.

Si Shengsheng was greatly shocked, and frantically urged his Taoist power to suppress the Taoist weapon in his hand, but he felt that this treasure that had accompanied him for countless years actually showed signs of wanting to break free from his control.

Lu Ye snapped his fingers and his body shook slightly. Even though he was seriously injured, he easily shattered the attacking sword light.

Si Shengsheng was horrified: "My knife..."

Lu Ye nodded, reached out and grabbed it, the roots of the gifted tree spread out, and the power was activated.

Sure enough, the problem lay with the Sky-Breaking Knife. Although this knife had accompanied Si Shengyi for countless years, when he obtained this treasure, its intelligence had been wiped out. Without Si Shengyi even noticing, it had already been completely eroded by the aura of the Star Abyss.

Just like the precious long sword before, it turned into Yuan's puppet and spy.

That’s why Saint Wu was able to descend so accurately this time.

When Lu Ye realized this, Yuan suddenly attacked with the Sky-Breaking Sword. If it weren't for the fact that the treasure itself could not exert too much power, Lu Ye would have found it difficult to cope with it with his severely injured body.

After a moment, Lu Ye handed the Sky-Breaking Knife back to Si Shengsheng, but the latter had a solemn and disgusted look on his face.

He is a soldier cultivator. For any soldier cultivator, his own Taoist soldiers are a part of his body and the most important companions in his life.

But without his knowledge, his partner had actually become a puppet. How could Si Shengya accept this?

He couldn't help but have the urge to throw the knife away.

"Don't worry, Si Sheng, something like this won't happen again." Lu Ye said. After the burning he just did, there was no risk of the Sky-Breaking Sword being completely corroded within a few hundred years.

"Really?" Si Shengya asked. It's not that he didn't believe Lu Ye, but for any cultivator, Dao soldiers were too important. Not to mention that Suixiao was a treasure and was of great help to Si Shengya himself. Even if it was not a treasure, if he discarded it, his strength would be reduced by at least 30%.

Therefore, if possible, he was unwilling to give up the Sky-Breaking Sword.

"Really!" Lu Ye nodded seriously.

"That's good." Si Shenghua took the Sky-Breaking Knife, flicked his fingers on the blade as if to teach it a lesson, and then put it away again.

Lu Ye frowned and said, "Si Sheng, when you left the source world, didn't you feel any restraint?"

There was one thing about what happened just now that made him feel even more confused.

After Wu Sheng attacked him, although Lu Ye was dizzy, he clearly heard the sound of chains being dragged, and he also noticed it in his peripheral vision. Then Wu Sheng disappeared.

It should be like the Second Saint and the Fourth Saint before, who touched the restrictions of the Source Realm and were dragged back.

If so, it means that the restriction of the source world is still in effect. How did Si Shengyi stay in Xingyuan? The restriction left by the Dragon and Phoenix ancestors has an absolute binding force on the True Saint, and the Half Saint should not be immune.

When Si Sheng was promoted to Semi-Saint in Xingyuan, he fell into the Source Realm because of the power of restriction.

"The restraint you mentioned...is this it?" Si Shengsheng slightly mobilized his own strength, and faint traces immediately appeared around his body.

Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, because the trace floating around Si Shengsheng looked like a chain, but it was very dim, like a projection.

As if sensing Lu Ye's doubts, Si Shengsheng explained, "There are restraints, but I can resist them, so I can stay in Xingyuan. But if I give up resisting, I should be able to return to the source world soon!"

Is there such a thing?

Lu Ye couldn't help but feel surprised.

On second thought, the source realm is in the process of merging and returning, and once the source realm is completely merged, the restrictions left by the dragon and phoenix ancestors will be broken. In this process, the restrictions themselves are also constantly weakening.

Therefore, the constraints on the semi-saints should be greatly reduced. This is why Si Shengya can stay in Xingyuan.

But the restriction on the True Saints was still strong, so even if Yuan asked the True Saints to take action, they would only have a moment.

This is the current situation, but I don’t know if there will be any changes as time goes by. For example, one day, even if the source world is not completely integrated, the True Saint will be able to resist the restraint of the forbidden power like Si Shengya...

If this is the case, it is definitely not good news for Lu Ye. After all, he has been targeted by Yuan. Once a similar situation happens again, he is likely to be attacked and killed by the True Saint.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lu Ye said, "Si Sheng, I'll take you to a place to heal your wounds first."

Si Sheng had been badly injured and had not yet recovered. Although Wu Sheng had not attacked him before, he was still affected by the aftermath and his injuries seemed to be even more serious.

Under normal circumstances, it should be no problem to resist the forbidden power from the Source Realm in this way, but the current situation would inevitably delay his own recovery.

If there is a place where Si Shengyao is no longer troubled by the power of restriction, he should be able to recover faster.

It might be possible to combine the worlds. Of course, this is just Lu Ye's guess. As for whether it will work, he is not sure, so let's just give it a try. (End of this chapter)
